Saint Louis Crisis Nursery - Children's Garden Volunteers

Saint Louis Crisis Nursery - Centene Center is looking for volunteers to care for our Children's Garden and green spaces. Our kids' playground is sandwiched between two parking lots, so having a beautiful garden and well-maintained landscaping helps it feel more welcoming and kid-friendly. Children's Garden Volunteers will water flowers, pull weeds, trim trees, weed whack, etc. We have gardening tools and a weed whacker for volunteers to use. Opportunities are available for ongoing weekly volunteers and one-time/occasional groups of volunteers.

Children's Garden Volunteers are welcome any day of the week between 9 am-5 pm. If you or your group are interested in taking care of our Children's Garden, or if you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks for thinking of Saint Louis Crisis Nursery!
